Cassandra's Finger

Norwegian title: Cassandras finger

Gert Nygårdshaug

This time, Gert Nygårdshaug’s crime hero Fredric Drum finds himself on familiar home turf in Oslo. But around Drum, the strangest things are happening: a giant statue miraculously moves from the National Gallery to a living room in Lommedalen, a medieval bishop appears, and a punk collective worships a mysterious mother figure.

On top of that, a magicians' convention is taking place in the capital. While attempting to solve the murder of a friend, Drum is swept into a seemingly absurd drama—one that Nygårdshaug elegantly brings to a logical, yet deeply surprising conclusion.
